II. TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS S Automatic Flash When the command dial is set to 0 , R , 41 in the image zone, the flash will automatically pop up and fire if the subject is dark or in back-lit conditions where the background is too bright against the subject. 4.7 If you wish to take a photograph without using the flash, such as in places where flash photography is forbidden or for indoor shots where you wish to make use of the available lighting, simply press the shutter button halfway, then push the built-in flash down gently to retract. You can then take your photograph without the flash. S Red-eye Reduction when Using the Flash In photographs of people taken using a flash at night or in poorly-lit interiors, the subject's eyes may appear red. This is due to light reflected from the retina, and the phenomena is called "red eye". When taking a flash shot with the camera set to the red-eye reduction function, the red-eye reduction lamp lights up, gently illuminating the subject's eyes momentarily, reducing the size of the pupils and reducing the chance of the red-eye phenomena occurring. When using the image zone, the red-eye reduction function can be set in the following way. 1. Press the red-eye reduction mode button (the flash button). • The LCD panel will display the mark to indicate that the red-eye reduction has been set. o 2. To switch the red-eye reduction function off, press the flash button one more time. • The C> mark on the LCD panel will go out, indicating that the red-eye reduc- tion function has been switched off. 19
